Mac Carruth has agreed to a one-year contract with Chicago.

He began the 2015-16 season with the Indy Fuel of the ECHL before joining the AHL's Rockford IceHogs. With the Fuel, he posted a 12-10-3 record, a 2.43 goals-against average and a .918 save percentage in 25 games. As a member of the IceHogs, he had a mark of 6-5-2 with a 2.30 GAA, a .926 save percentage and two shutouts. Tue, Jun 14, 2016 05:37:00 PM

Mac Carruth has agreed to a one-year AHL contract with the Rockford IceHogs

He spent most of the previous season in the ECHL with the Indy Fuel, where he posted a 17-13-7 record to go with a 2.55 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage. Carruth also had an impressive 1.69 GAA and a .925 save percentage in three appearances for Rockford. Mon, Aug 17, 2015 05:23:00 PM

Carruth was presumably summoned to help out in practices, as there's no chance that he will be asked to start in a playoff game. The 22-year-old had a 3.38 GAA and .893 save percentage in 32 ECHL contests in 2013-14. Wed, Apr 16, 2014 04:50:00 PM

He will likely get plenty of playing time in the minors, and given his strong effort in Portland of the WHL last season (2.36 GAA, .929 SP), he should do just fine. Carruth is a year or two away from being a fantasy factor. Sat, Sep 21, 2013 12:46:00 PM

Jonathan Toews scored a goal and picked up an assist in a 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres.

Toews made a gorgeous play to bat his rebound out of mid-air and in for his 20th goal of the year. Chicago's captain has now reached at least 20 goals in all 11 seasons of his career and has really picked up his game in March with 10 points in eight games. Jordan Oesterle and Tomas Jurco also scored in the loss. Toews is currently at 51 points in 72 games this season.

Nick Schmaltz scored a pair of goals in Chicago's 6-3 loss to Anaheim on Sunday.

Schmaltz has 20 goals and 45 points through 62 games this season after he found the back of the net just six times in 61 matches a year ago. Vinnie Hinostroza assisted on both goals by Schmaltz in the contest.

Brandon Saad scored a goal in the Blackhawks' 6-2 loss to Winnipeg on Thursday.

Saad, who opened the scoring just 11 seconds into the contest, has 16 goals and 30 points in 71 games in 2017-18. Patrick Sharp also found the back of the net for Chicago. Nick Schmaltz, John Hayden, Patrick Kane, and Connor Murphy each recorded an assist.

Hayden is expected to be in the lineup for today's game against the Boston Bruins because Vincent Hinostroza is dealing with a personal matter. Hayden has five goals and nine assists in 22 AHL games this season and three goals an 11 points in 39 NHL contests.

Patrick Kane earned a pair of assists in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Buffalo.

Kane has four goals and five assists in seven career games in his hometown versus the Sabres. He helped set up goals by Jordan Oesterle and Jonathan Toews in the defeat. Kane has generated one goal and five assists during a four-game point streak. He has 69 points in 72 matches this season.

Alex DeBrincat notched a hat trick in a 5-4 overtime loss against St. Louis on Sunday.

DeBrincat's third hat trick of the season was not enough to beat the desperate Blues, who are pushing for a playoff spot. That's a great way to end a 13-game goalless drought. DeBrincat now has 25 goals and 45 points in 73 games this season.

Tomas Jurco has contributed two goals and one assist in his last five contests.

Jurco had a goal and a season-high nine shot attempts, including four on goal, in Sunday's 6-3 loss to Anaheim. The 25-year-old is a pending restricted free agent and it's unclear if he will be a member of the Blackhawks beyond this season. Jurco needs to finish the year on a high note so that he can earn his next NHL contract, whether that comes from Chicago or not.

The Chicago Blackhawks have placed Marian Hossa on the long-term injured list.

By going on LTIR, Hossa's $5.275 million doesn't count against the salary cap. The Blackhawks have already announced that Hossa will miss the entire 2017-18 season because of a skin disorder. The 38-year-old's career is likely over, but that hasn't been confirmed yet.

Duncan Keith posted an assist with a plus-1 rating, two blocked shots and a hit in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win against Colorado.

Keith has managed just one goal so far through 67 games, but he has piled up 28 assists to go along with 33 hits and 124 blocked shots. It has been an ugly season for Keith's fantasy owners in leagues penalizing negative rating, too, as he currently sits with an unsavory minus-17. In pools which do not use plus/minus, Keith has been much better.

Connor Murphy has been paired with Duncan Keith for the last six games.

Murphy had some trouble adapting to Chicago's system at the start of the year, but he has been more comfortable lately. "He's had some good stretches in games," coach Joel Quenneville said. "Some games, like our team game, [we'd like him to be] more crisp and predictable possession-wise, but that's been a team thing." Murphy has 114 hits and 72 blocks in 64 games this season, but he shouldn't be on your radar if you are looking for offense.

Jordan Oesterle has three goals and two assists in the last five games.

Oesterle posted a goal and a plus-3 rating in 23:33 of ice time in Sunday's 4-1 win over Edmonton. He has played well on the top pairing alongside Duncan Keith and has earned the trust of coach Joel Quenneville.

Jean-Francois Berube allowed five goals on 41 shots in a 5-4 overtime loss to St. Louis on Sunday.

Berube's 36 saves were enough to earn the Hawks a point against the desperate Blues, fighting for their playoff lives. His record drops to 2-4-1 this season with a 3.70 goals against average and .897 save percentage.

Crawford has been sidelined since Dec. 23. The Blackhawks bench boss said it's doubtful that Crawford will be back on the ice in the next few days. It is looking more and more likely that he won't play again this season, but that shouldn't come as a surprise.
